“Both the private sector and the public sector need to put their money where their mouth is. They use the arts and culture in Durham to attract talent, companies, investment and wealth .... but the people who are creating that work are struggling to stay here.”

Emilia Jones is really killing it in Task. Early Emmy front runner

I can't believe the Panthers won in spite of having Taylor from Love Island there as a guest. Maybe it was the aweosmeness of Clarke that offset it

Fair. I get it. And you've learned to laugh while it's happening. I still need to learn that

The Panthers have had some stinkers and if they had a performance like the one the Falcons have had today I probably would have broken something by now

Hello Panthers, it's me, Lauren. Please could you do a touchdown. Thank you.

Dave. Please. Do better

The Falcons are out there tackling themselves and we're still only up 10 I don't like it

I don't like the way the very end of this half is going whatsoever

We're out here making 57-yard field goals now? What fresh hell awaits us in the second half

A false start on 3rd and short. That feels more familiar

Confusing, but exciting

*rubs eyes* was that...a form tackle by a Panthers' defensive player in the open field? Is that legal?

WHY. WHY. WHY. WHY.

Falcons trying to steal our move of taking a delay of game on a 4th and short out of a timeout smh

No one move or say anything

My first NFL fan experience was of the Dolphins since the Panthers literally didn't exist yet and seeing Jason Taylor just makes me feel things I don't think any other former player could evoke in the same way

OK Miami; that drive is the opposite of what you usually do in this situation so I see you

Yeah, the biggest commonality is that there's always a stumble against someone unexpected

Fair

But it pre-dates Mario, even if there are aspects specific to him (i.e. late-game management, letting a team hang around long enough to steal a win). It's the thing where Miami makes people think they're back and then does...something like this. Been a thing for almost 20 years now

I feel like we need a better word for it but I don't know what it would be

idk this game is feeling kinda Cristobally

watching Matt Rhule with a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter because it's all I have left to bring me joy

Duke's just out there throwing bombs

well that's certainly a list

Been a few years now since UNC hasn’t looked that way but it’s clear this won’t be as easy as Bill thought it might be

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

Last year I wrote about the NCGOP leaderships multi-decade obsession with erasing LGBT people from UNC’s campus life for @triangleblogblog.bsky.social. Might need to update soon unfortunately. triangleblogblog.com/2024/05/05/t...

My therapist said it’s especially important now to find things to be grateful for and so I am incredibly grateful for the best reality show on television The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City I love these campy psychos so much and my stomach hurts from laughing

If they did I’d finally take the plunge

You don’t Nomi

I’ll treasure it

I like The Pitt! Dr. Collins was part of what made that show feel true and profound. It would really suck if there's just no Black women doctors in S2 because the showrunners don't write any more in. I hope that's not the case. The mass sweeping of Black women from the workforce makes me dubious.

Stephen Colbert's Emmy victory speech: "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. I have never loved my country more desperately. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!"

Yeah that was one of the better things I watched this year it’s ridiculous that it got no noms

DIEGO LUNA SHOULD BE NOMINATED

OH HELL CBS HAS TO AIR COLBERT’S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH LMAOOOOO

Awwww I love this for Stephen Graham he deserves it

Oh hello to my wife Malin Akerman

Finally Cristin Milioti WON for legit one of the best performances this year

Stephen Graham, a true short king

Owen Cooper is winning right

I have friends everywhere

THE SCREAM I JUST SCREAMT YESSSSSSS DAN GILROY

Anna Sawai 😍

Watching The Emmys but am seeing reports on my timeline that the Falcons have acquired a pass rush so the bad news just keeps on coming
